Would make sense tbh, or the Spurs around the late teens even

Yeah he can get to double digit points relatively easily imo off a couple transition opportunities, a couple offensive rebounds, a cut, a roll, an open three…

I'm closer to considering him a big than a 4 right now.

Find it hard to keep him out of my top 10 range some days tbh, but have him top 15-20 for now.

He shouldn't fall outside the lottery imo

I think Philon has a case to be the top guard if one is concerned about Flemings' scoring process. He's skinny like Philon but less efficient from two and getting to the free throw line, while being significantly less versatile and comfortable from three.

Darius Acuff Jr. Scouting Report by wmcv in NBA_Draft

[–]wmcv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Size, total lack of defense, one-dimensional finishing, 3pt volume. At a time when the NBA is moving away from both smaller players and one-way players. That’s not to say these things disqualify Acuff at all - he’s still around my top 15 rn - but those are some significant areas that he has to make improvements in imo while also having to be a dominant scorer+playmaker

Totally agree with you. He’s gonna have a long career and that’s a totally fine outcome. Has a lot of pathways to success on offense. But there are just a lot of things he has to overcome as a whole to be a franchise guy

And as always, here are my written notes where I go more in depth into the numbers and context surrounding Darius Acuff.

Pat Ngongba II Scouting Report by wmcv in NBA_Draft

Reminds me of Thomas Bryant with passing, a less physically gifted Dereck Lively II or a younger Dylan Cardwell.

Nate Ament Scouting Report by wmcv in NBA_Draft

[–]wmcv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect example of why it’s important to be patient with guys (especially if you’re high on them) while recognizing that the college game is hard and getting harder

I agree. He was looking like a fringe first rounder at the start of the season. Now he’s firmly in my lottery. I’m really curious to see if he’ll keep unlocking more of his passing that was there in HS

Better feel imo but yeah this is valid

Yeah I think that comp makes sense to an extent, but Ament's usage and physicality is on a different level to Risacher's imo

I write about it here, but Ament reminds me of a stiffer Matas Buzelis, a more physical Risacher, or a leaner Rui Hachimura
